Explains a lot...

Tamara clears up a lot of philological* questions.   She does not, however, address the relationship between Finnish,  Hungarian, and Korean.

Can't wait for her takes on Euskara ("Basque") and Navajo...

Speaking of Navajo, did you know that the US Army used Code Talkers, too?  Choctaw in WW I, Choctaw, Cherokee, and Comanche in WWII, but they never talked (!) about it; security, and the Army never was as savvy about PR as the Marine Corps...

*Philology?  Linguistics?  I have a helluva time telling the difference, assuming there is one, Professor Tolkein forgive me...
